Additional Legal Requirements: *

• It is illegal to deliver alcohol to a person that is visibly intoxicated or under the legal drinking age.
• By law, you must return undelivered alcohol to the vendor immediately.
• When picking up an alcohol order, the store/restaurant will require your government-issued photo ID and/or Alcohol Certification.
• You are legally required to check the customer’s government-issued ID. The name on the customer’s ID must match the name on the order. Photocopies or digital copies of the ID are not acceptable proof of ID. 
• In BC, you’re required to check two pieces of IDs before delivering alcohol. The primary ID must be an official government-issued ID (including foreign government-issued) with name, picture, and birth date; such as a driver’s license or passport. The secondary ID must include the name and signature or picture; such as a credit card or student ID.
• Alcohol orders can only be delivered to residential addresses, and can never be released to customers at schools, prisons, remand centres, or businesses that also sell alcohol.
